so of course, governor romney's got stiff competition. but i would say he's the candidate that's been able to win in every region of the country. he's the only one that's got both the message and the money, and the organization, as he's proved time and time again. he's won the last three in a row. he will come out today with more delegates by far than any other candidate. so i think more and more people see him as the guy that can win, that can appeal to independent voters and can go toe-to-toe with obama on the things that matter, which are jobs, debt and deficit. >> virginia's ballot is only including mitt romney and ron paul. >> right. >> given that, is the state's primary still matter? >> i expect mitt to take all of the votes. i was hoping that all the candidates would be on the ballot. we would have a more robust turnout, a better identification for those republicans for the november election. but unfortunately, two of them, santorum and gingrich did not qualify under our rules. it is disappointing. at the end of the day, i think ei

one of the albatrosses around governor romney is, of course, romney care in massachusetts. do you think it would be a good thing, advisable for romney, to come out with a detailed plan how he would replace obama care? in other words, to get out from under romney care in massachusetts would it be better for mr. romney to say here's how i'm going to do away with obama care? would that quell some of his conservative opposition and critics? >> well, i think you can do that, and i would be happy to help him do that. we have multiple plans and ideas, but, larry, would i remind you of one thing. we have the tenth amendment of the constitution, which says governor romney didn't do romney care. the state did romney care. he either signed it or didn't sign it. the fact is that the states have the right to do that. that's something totally different than the federal government mandating what states will do. >> would it be better to go -- just last few seconds, sir. i'm sorry we're tight for time. better to go a step beyond that? >> absolutely. i agree with that. i agree with that. i d

this is the romney color right here. the romney color is the darker red. overwhelmingly outspent everybody. the purple is santorum or the pro santorum super pac. there's no question the money matters. let me close this down. again, major tv market. major tv market. the only place where you have the tv market that santorum is carrying toledo. in the central areas where people are being inundated would it have made a difference? that's one of the big question marks for santorum. they were late to organize and raise money. why not spend more in ohio? their answer most likely would be we still have much less resources. a lot of states to fight on that they have to be more careful with the resources. these states are expensive. if you're going to start getting competitive on television here, some money doesn't do it for you. if you have to get in, you have to get in. that gets expensive. >> reminds me of ohio 2004 when john kerry lost ohio barely. he had millions of dollars left over, didn't use it in ohio. he might have been president of the united states pack
